38 Climate Leaders You Need to Follow on Twitter

We all know that it’s happening, but we don’t want to talk about it… climate change.

However, climate change is very real, and we need to keep talking about it. Not just about the problem, what has caused it, and what it will do to us.

We need to talk about the the solution and raise awareness around the radical actions needed.

Just signing the Paris Agreement isn’t enough. It looks more and more like the ambitious 1.5C target is out of reach, and that we will have to settle with the 2C target. The transition to cleaner energy is not happening at the required pace, in spite of ever falling prices on solar and wind energy.

Eventually, climate change will lead to hunger, migration, war, unemployment, inequality, walls being built and much, much more. And still, people are not talking very much about it.

According to the latest risk report from World Economic Forum, the environment is the no. 1 risk to the global society. We’ve only seen the beginning of it with forest fires and floods etc.

Eventually, climate change will lead to hunger, migration, war, unemployment, inequality, walls being built and much, much more. And still, people are not talking very much about it.

Luckily, we have Twitter. On Twitter you will find the most important online conversations around climate change. These conversations we need to listen to and amplify in our daily lifes.

Everything worthwhile reading, watching and knowing about climate change is shared on Twitter, and at the center of that debate we find a list key influencers. When they speak, people listen. The list includes politicians, Hollywood stars, journalists, scientists, authors, corporate people and many more.

So, without further ado, here’s the list of climate influencers you need to follow on Twitter. And, just for the record, they are not listed in any particular order.

@TulsiGabbard has written and sponsored the #OFFAct H.R. 3671 to justly transition #OffFossilFuels by 2038. Not only has she been active on twitter about it, she has built a coalition of over 400 climate and justice groups to help create a new reality that gives more Americans jobs and brings us closer to energy independence.

Great to see a lone Aussie @RichardMcClellan make it to the list – which otherwise looks kinda Northern Hemisphere-y

On the topic of climate leadership, a few more from Downunder worth a mention include @Jackthelad1947 @ReclaimAnglesea @KetanJ0 @ProfTerryHughes @ChristopherWr11 @simonahac @takvera – oh, and @ProfRayWills

Sorry misspelled name. Would suggest Marga Hoek @bfg_world promoting “Business and Capital for Good as the New Norm, rather than the exception”. Scaling business and capital innovations contributing to the SDGs.
